TIPS TO ENSURE YOU AREN’T OVERWORKED Work From Home?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of people who work out of a home office has tripled between 2019 and 2021. This massive increase is mainly due to the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, it was believed that if workers were not in an office setting, they would slack off while working remotely. However, the opposite has proven to be true. In fact, some studies show that many employees working from home are overworked as their personal and professional lives start to blend. When their home is also their office, do they ever really transition out of work mode? If you have adopted the remote work lifestyle, here are some tips to help ensure that you are not overdoing it. STICK TO A START AND STOP TIME. In an office setting, employees are instructed when to show up and go home. Some even clock in and out, even for lunch breaks. If you are
working from home, maintain regular working hours and avoid the urge to “check just one work thing” outside of your set hours. LOG ALL OVERTIME. On that note, if you do end up working after- hours or more than your slotted hours in the day, record it and “flex” your hours on a different day to balance out the overtime hours. Even if you are just putting in an extra 15 minutes on a Wednesday evening, mark it down — this way, you know just how much extra work you put into a particular task or project. BE VOCAL. If and when you become overwhelmed, it’s important to say something. When employees are outside of a traditional office setting and faces and body language can’t be observed throughout the day, it can be difficult to know when someone has too much on their plate and is on the verge of burning out. To bridge this gap, be vocal about your workload!
LET ME CREATE VALUE OUT OF THIN AIR! Boost the Worth of Your Investments the Easy Way
Yes, you read that right: I create value out of thin air! Before I tell you how, I want to clarify that I am not on some kind of “ego trip.” Nor will you see me in Vegas performing any magic shows! What I am talking about is creating hundreds of thousands of dollars in value through apartments ... by reducing pain-in-the-butt taxes. Frankly, I do a very, very good job of this — and your wallet can benefit! Right now, I’m about 80% through working on property tax assessments for our apartments and those of other landlords and investors who hired me to find untapped value in their properties. Across all of those properties, I’ve created a seven-figure jump in value! I successfully reduced one apartment owner’s taxes by $50,000. Yep, $50,000! That means their property is now worth $700,000 more than it was yesterday, and I added $50,000 of income to their bottom line. Let that sink in a minute. I also won a $20,000 reduction on the taxes of three apartment properties. I increased the overall value $250,000 in a matter of days WITHOUT spending any money on capital improvements. Let that sink in! I know it probably seems impossible to add hundreds of thousands to your net worth with NO WORK. But it IS possible if you know what you are doing — and I do. In fact, I’m obsessed with it. Right now, the tax assessors hate me.
They want me to leave the state. But I’m not going anywhere! I even plan on showing
up in court if that’s what it
takes to get our taxes lowered.
I do this for all of the projects I am personally involved in, and it’s just one of the ways I create value for my fellow investors, my partners, and myself.
Of course, I can’t work magic with every property. Not every project is a home run, but many are. I’ve even boosted the value of properties I’ve owned for years! This is why other landlords and investors hire me to find untapped value in their properties. I can help you, too. If you are as obsessed with investing as I am, what are you waiting for?
